Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1 large egg
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup mixed peel
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter, and water until warm (around 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit).
Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the raisins and mixed peel.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on a greased baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the top of the buns.
Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
